The World War 2 Archives - The Japanese At War DVD

This series of programmes tells the complete story of World War II through fascinating archive footage that has become a living history of the incredible series of events that shaped the future of the entire human race. For the majority of people when considering the events of World War II it is the activities of Adolf Hitler that will invariably first spring to mind. Nevertheless particularly as the conflict progressed the war in the Pacific arena became ever more significant as the Japanese advanced through neighbouring territories equally as fast as the Nazi war... machine stormed through Europe. Historically and culturally the Japanese at war presented the Allies with an enemy that was incredibly difficult to read fighting to the death in some of the most inhospitable terrain known to man. Watch this remarkable story unfold through the eyes of those who experienced the conflict with archive images of the events as they developed. From the great naval battles to the brutal hand to hand jungle warfare that characterised so many of Japan's engagements see for yourself what happened in the Far East and the impact it had on a global scale. Although Victory in Europe came with the suicide of Adolf Hitler it ironically would be the Japanese who continued to the last with a culture of no surrender. This programme explores every aspect of the Japanese at war demonstrating why America had to go to such desperate measures to bring about a lasting peace. [show more]
